How To Transform Your Look by Marta Walsh

I have two beauty tips that will save you money and also will transform your look.

1. Lighten your eyebrows: Lightening your eyebrows whether with a light eyebrow pencil 2 shades lighter than your natural eyebrows or even using a bleach can make a huge difference to your look. When I say huge, I mean an instant makeover. Lighter eyebrows give you a much softer look and accentuate your eyes. 

 Celebrities that I suspect to lighten their eyebrows include: Oprah, Tyra Banks, IMAN, Jennifer Lopez, Vanessa Williams, and recently I’ve even noticed Rachel Rey. Yup:)


Blonde highlights and lighter eyebrows transformed Jennifer Lopez into a superstar

Anastasia Beverly Hills is amazing for anything to do with brows, so look out for their tinted brow gels and brow pencils. I love  Anastasia Beverly Hills Duo Brow Wand (a new powder featuring a dual-sided applicator with Brunette and Ash Blonde Brow Powders).

Twilight Star Ashley Greene at Rock & Republic Party

My dear friend & Celebrity Makeup Artist, Victoria Rowe, who also happened to do makeup for Twilight star Ashley Greene told me about the Rock & Republic Robertson Store Opening Party last night in LA. 

Ashley Greene looked simply elegant in a little black dress, fresh short hair cut, and clean makeup.

I also love Ashley Greene’s nail polish which is very neutral.

Try Essie in Ballet Slippers for an Ashley Greene inspired  look!

MAC Peppermint Patti Nail Polish

In my recent Avon lip colors video giveaway I wore MAC Nail Polish in Peppermint Patti, which happens to be my absolute favorite lately. 

Here is a photo from my video to demonstrate (btw-I’m holding Avon Spectra Color Lipstick):

MAC Sugarsweet collection, described as Creamy mint green (Cream).

MAC Peppermint Patti Nail Polish is a minty or almost aquatic shade which looks great by the beach or by the pool in the summer.

Actually, many of Talking Makeup’s viewers gave me compliments and loved my nails all lacquered up in MAC Peppermint Patti. Thank you guys! You are the BEST:)

Kristin Cavallari vs. Heather Graham:Who Got It Right?

Kristin Cavallari was spotted at Wizard of Oz Exhibition Opening Night Gala wearing the same dress Heather Graham wore at the Hangover premiere.

Kristin Cavallari and  Heather Graham both pretty blonds but who got it right? Tell Marta what you think!:)

btw-I like the dress myself, because it is a bit Avant-garde.

Elizabeth Hurley’s Versace safety-pin dress got her noticed when she accompanied ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant to the 1994 premiere of his film Four Weddings and a Funeral.
